Another air bag recall update
For those still wondering about the passenger air bags, we've added more vehicles to the recall group. Specifically, the 2004 Lancers have become nationwide recalled. The 2005 have been changed to "ALL" 2005 (not just certain dates), and have also become nationwide recalled. 2006 models have been added, and as well are nationwide recalled.
Pursuant to a Defect Information Report that TK Holdings Inc. (Takata) submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Safety Recall SR-14-012 – Lancer Front Passenger Air Bag Inflator will now be expanded to:
Include all remaining 2005 Lancer/Lancer Sportback/Lancer Evolution vehicles and those 2006 Lancer/Lancer Evolution vehicles utilizing the inflator at issue
Cover all affected vehicles nationwide, regardless of garaging or registration history

^^^ Yep, Takata bags.
The VIN list won't be available for another few weeks, so no point in checking right now. The anticipated release of the VINs is the second week in June. Notifications will be sent out in waves starting the week after typically and will go to the current registered address with the DMV.
Rumor has it that drivers bags may get added, that is not concrete though (only the above I quoted is from Mitsubishi directly and considered fact at this point).

Go to the Mitsubishi's website and register your car and it will tell you if you have a recall.

Read above, this is pre-release information. New vehicles added to the recalls will not be listed there for another 2 weeks or more. The Mitsubishi site (or any other VIN checker) should not show any new information today that wasn't there 8 months ago.
